Good things come in small packages

The Zoom F2-BT, an extremely lightweight and ultra-compact field recorder equipped with a lavalier microphone, is eminently suited to the requirements of mobile creators such as podcasters, videographers, bloggers, vloggers, and journalists. Thanks to its 32-bit float technology, the F2 allows even the loudest audio signals to be recorded without any risk of overmodulation and the quietest signals to be captured in great detail with a resolution of 44.1kHz or 48kHz. An additional bonus is that this easy-to-use field recorder does not require users to manually set the gain thanks to its automatic gain adjustment function. The Zoom F2-BT is also available in an F2 variant - without the Bluetooth 4.2 interface and F2 Control app but with a slightly lower price tag.

Sophisticated features

The Zoom F2-BT records directly to a microSD or microSDHC card (not included) with a storage capacity of up to 512GB. This compact field recorder boasts a wide range of practical features, such as the Rec-Hold function that prevents keys from being accidentally pressed during recording and an 80Hz high-pass filter that effectively attenuates impact noise and other unwanted low-frequency sound (e.g. handling noise). The Zoom lavalier mic comes with three windshields, a clip that allows it to be attached to the user’s clothing (e.g. collar), and two screw-lock sockets in mini-jack format at the top (line/mic input and headphone output with dedicated volume control) that prevent it from being unplugged in just about any action-filled situation.

... and action!

The Zoom F2-BT, which has been specifically designed for mobile creators, will come into its own during video production and pure audio recording, especially by preventing audio and video syncing issues through high-precision internal clock signals that are transmitted via Bluetooth. This F2 field recorder variant can be operated for up to 14 hours on just two standard AAA alkaline batteries (rechargeable batteries can also be used) or using the Zoom AD-17 power adapter (available separately) via the USB-C port that can also be used for fast and easy data transfer to and from a computer. Last but not least, the F2 is extremely convenient and secure to carry thanks to its low weight of just 32g and the included belt clip.

About Zoom

Founded in 1983, the Japanese company Zoom manufactures a variety of audio equipment, including a range of portable "handy" recorders as well as multi-effects processors, effects pedals, drum machines, and samplers. Over the past thirty years, the company has built a reputation for producing innovative yet affordable products based on original microchip designs. Since the Zoom-9002 (an ultra-compact multi-effects processor that can be attached to a guitar strap) was introduced in 1990, Zoom has become one of the leaders in digital audio processing.

Always ready to go

The Zoom F2 comes with a matching omnidirectional lavalier microphone, but it can also be combined with any other microphone supporting 2.5V plug-in power. This versatile field recorder is not only the ideal solution for capturing high-quality audio outside of a studio environment, but will also come in useful for quick recordings in a rehearsal room. Users who don’t require remote transport control or the internal clock via Bluetooth should take a look at the Zoom F2 model, which comes with a slightly lower price tag.

really useful, good sound, a little fiddly
recording out and about 04.10.2021
I bought a pair of these to try and deal with a lot of on location, walking recording I do for a music podcast. I use them for back-up and to give me an option on the vocals when I;m recording music in the field. In the past I;ve used a pair of zoom f1s which are ok but need a lot of fiddling with the levels. These are brilliant and dealt with the shifts in inouts levels magnificently. I bought the blue tooth versions as I want to use a timecode synch but am struggling to get it to work (and there doesn't seem to be instructions anywhere). The build is a little flimsy and I worry about getting the data card in and out. But overall a total lifesaver.

Une surprise de qualité
Nuok1 01.10.2021
J'avais lu beaucoup de commentaires négatifs de 2019, spécifiant que le micro fourni ne tenait pas plus d'une heure sans bug. Visiblement, zoom aurait corrigé le problème sur la série 2020, et j'ai donc reçu une version récente. Que dire : du pain béni ! J'ai eu à utiliser ce micro pour enregistrer un conférencier pendant 8heures.
Première surprise : le volume semi-automatique me rebutait au départ, mais finalement, quel résultat ? Un son parfaitement calibré autours du -18, souffle quasi inexistant.
Deuxième surprise : l'interface bluetooth est simplissime (à un tel point que je pensais qu'il fallait faire d'autres manips, ça me paraissait trop facile)
Troisième surprise : le son du micro n'est certes pas celui d'un micro de cinéma, mais un peu d'égalisation et le résultat est bluffant.
Quatrième surprise : il me reste encore quasiment la moitié de la batterie, après 8 heures d'utilisation.

En bref, un ensemble qui va me suivre longtemps. Brancher, allumer, lancer = fini. Recommandé à 100%

Top Gerät für den richtigen Einsatz
AudioCG 26.05.2022
Ich filme gelegentlich Theater- und Performancestücke und es kommt immer wieder vor, dass diese unverstärkt sind. Nun ist man mit der Kamera ja meist etwas weiter weg und bislang musste man sich lange Kabel durch den Raum legen oder ähnliches. Ich habe mir also mehrere Sets mit kleinen unscheinbaren Kameramikrofonen und diesen F2-Rekordern zugelegt, die kann gut mit kleinen Klemme irgendwo anbringen oder einfach mit einem kleinen Stativ dezent an die Bühne stellen. Durch das 32bit war auch das Auspegeln zuvor problematisch, jetzt ist es gar kein Thema mehr. Das einzige Manko ist die App. Leider kann man sich immer nur mit einem Recorder verknüpfen und das händische Starten der Geräte scheint nicht möglich, wenn man mit der App verbunden ist. Der Recorder zeigt nahezu alles mit nur einer LED an, die Verbindung via Bluetooth ist orange, das Recording ist rot. Eine wirklich fiese Fehlerquelle, die völlig unnötig ist. Super wäre es, wenn die App einfach vernünftig anzeigen könnte, dass alle verwendeten Geräte ordnungsgemäß aufzeichnen, damit man sicher sein kann, dass sie es tun. Ansonsten ist die App bei einem Rekorder super, man kann auslösen und den Pegel sehen, abhören aber leider nicht. Die Timecode-Unterstützung klingt super, ist leider für mich nicht zu gebrauchen, diese funktioniert nur per Bluetooth und ist daher für normale Kameras, mit denen man es synchronisieren möchte, auch mit Zusatzgeräten, nicht einsetzbar. Wenn man von diesen Schwächen absieht, erhält man erstaunlich zuverlässige Geräte, die wirklich unfassbar klein sind für das was sie können. Mit geladenen Akkus zeichnen die Dinger mehrere Stunden mühelos auf und man muss sich wirklich um nichts kümmern, wenn sie erstmal laufen.

Nur Mono
Kunstkopf2000 10.07.2021
Kleines "Achtung" an dieser Stelle: Der Zoom F2 hat angeblich einen Stereo-Mic-Eingang. Die Aufnahmen können (Firmware 1.10) aber leider ausschließlich in Mono gemacht werden!
(Hatte gehofft hiermit binaurale Aufnahmen machen zu können)
